I believe that most of us usually buy used toys, mostly for customizing or just for completing our collection, if we come across old toys that have loose joints, is there a way to strengthen these loose joints?

I use super glue. You have to move the joints for a bit while it's drying so the pieces aren't glued in place, but it works great. As a matter of fact, I just did it the other day on a 25th Stinger driver. The super glue will dry at the perfect thickness since you are moving the part in the joint while it dries. I would also highly recommend using the gel super glue so it doesn't run into/onto parts of the figure that you don't want (or your hand for that matter). When it dries, the thickness will be perfect since you dried it while moving the part in the joint. Good luck! PM me with any questions.

i take the figure apart first. let them dry, then put it back together.
